Sections 302—305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.302—6026.305) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of Notices of Intent to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate is used to identify a site where a person proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. A person intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard or intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area shall file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department provides a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known or suspected contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site and a description of the intended future use of the site. A person who demonstrates attainment of one or a combination of cleanup standards or receives approval of a special industrial area remediation identified under the act will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by the Department. Furthermore, the person shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.
Under sections 304(n)(1)(ii) and 305(c)(2) of the act, there is a 30-day public and municipal comment period for sites proposed for remediation using a site-specific standard, in whole or in part, and for sites remediated as a special industrial area. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the following site, proposed for remediation to a site-specific standard or as a special industrial area, the municipality, within which the site is located, may request to be involved in the development of the remediation and reuse plans for the site if the request is made within 30 days of the date specified as follows. During this comment period, the municipality may request that the person identified as the remediator of the site develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved and comments should be directed to the remediator of the site.

Table 1: Facility Wide Potential to Emit
Air Contaminant Emission Rate
(tpy)Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) 348 Carbon Monoxide (CO) 1,012 Filterable Particulate Matter (PM) 71 Particulate Matter Less Than 10
Microns In Diameter (PM10)164 Particulate Matter Less Than 2.5
Microns In Diameter (PM2.5)159 Sulfur Oxides (SOx) 21 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) 522 Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) 30.5 Ammonia (NH3) 152 Carbon Dioxide Equivalents (CO2e) 2,248,293 This authorization is subject to Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) requirements of 40 CFR 52.21; adopted in its entirety by the Department and incorporated by reference under 25 Pa. Code § 127.83; for nitrogen dioxide (NO2), CO, PM, PM10, and CO2e. In accordance with the PSD rules in 40 CFR 52.21 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.83, Shell has performed an air quality analysis which utilizes dispersion modeling. Shell's air quality analysis satisfies the requirements of the PSD rules and is consistent with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Guideline on Air Quality Models (40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W) and the EPA's air quality modeling policy and guidance.
In accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(k), Shell's air quality analysis demonstrates that Shell's proposed emissions will not cause or contribute to air pollution in violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for CO, NO2, or PM10. Shell's air quality analysis demonstrates that Shell's proposed emissions will not cause or contribute to air pollution in violation of the increments for NO2 or PM10. The degree of Class II and Class I increment consumption expected to result from the operation of the Shell facility is provided in the following tables:
Table 2: Degree of Class II Increment Consumption from Operation of Shell Facility
Pollutant Averaging Period Degree of Class II Increment Consumption Class II Increment micrograms/meter3 % of Class II Increment micrograms/meter3 NO2 Annual < 0.93919 < 3.76% 25 PM10 24-Hour < 8.43834 < 28.13% 30 Annual < 2.34454 < 13.79% 17
Table 3: Degree of Class I Increment Consumption from Operation of Shell Facility
Pollutant Averaging Period Degree of Class I Increment Consumption Class I Increment micrograms/meter3 % of Class I Increment micrograms/meter3 NO2 Annual < 0.02342 < 0.94% 2.5 PM10 24-Hour < 0.27234 < 3.40% 8 Annual < 0.01954 < 0.49% 4 In accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(o), Shell provided a satisfactory analysis of the impairment to visibility, soils, and vegetation that would occur as a result of the Shell facility and general commercial, residential, industrial, and other growth associated with the Shell facility. In accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(p), written notice of the proposed project has been provided to the Federal Land Managers of nearby Class I areas as well as initial screening calculations to demonstrate that Shell's proposed emissions will not adversely impact visibility and air quality related values (AQRV) in nearby Class I areas.
In accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(l)(2), where an air quality model specified in the EPA Guideline on Air Quality Models (40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W) is inappropriate, the model may be modified on a case-by-case basis. Written approval of the EPA Regional Administrator must be obtained for the use of a modified model. In addition, the use of a modified model must be subject to notice and opportunity for public comment under procedures developed in accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(q). The air quality analysis for NO2 for the proposed Shell facility utilizes the Plume Volume Molar Ratio Method (PVMRM), which is currently implemented as a non-regulatory-default option within the EPA's recommended near-field dispersion model, the American Meteorological Society/Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model (AERMOD). In accordance with the recommendations under subsection 3.2 of the EPA's Guideline on Air Quality Models, the Department submitted a request to EPA Region III for approval of the use of the PVMRM in Shell's air quality analysis for NO2 on March 31, 2014. The EPA Regional Administrator approved the Department's request on April 21, 2014. Pursuant to 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44 and 127.83, and 40 CFR 52.21(l)(2) and (q), notice is hereby given that the Department is expressly soliciting written comments on the use of the PVMRM in Shell's air quality analysis for NO2.
Shell has performed an inhalation risk assessment in order to evaluate potential cancer and noncancer inhalation risks from this facility's potential air emissions. Emission rates of compounds of potential concern (COPC) have been modeled to derive exposure concentrations. The highest modeled exposure concentrations were then multiplied or divided by compound-specific unit risk factors or reference concentrations, respectively. Chronic risks for each COPC were then summed and compared against the Department's benchmark excess lifetime cancer risk and health index (HI) values. Acute risks for each COPC were compared against the Department's benchmark hazard quotient (HQ) value.
Table 4: Inhalation Risk Assessment Results Summary
Inhalation Risk Department Benchmark Modeled Risk Less Than Benchmark? Excess Lifetime Cancer Risk 1 in 100,000 0.8 in 100,000 Yes Chronic Noncancer Risk HI < 0.25 HI = 0.07 Yes Acute Noncancer Risk HQ < 1 HQ = 0.21 Yes
The Department's technical review concludes that Shell's inhalation risk assessment was conducted according to the Department-approved protocol and is acceptable. Furthermore, the Department's independent inhalation risk assessment concludes that chronic cancer and noncancer risks as well as acute noncancer risks do not exceed the Department's benchmarks.
This authorization is subject to New Source Review (NSR) requirements of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127 Subchapter E for NOx, VOC, and PM2.5. These air contaminants are subject to Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) requirements. This location is designated as an area of nonattainment for the 2008 Lead NAAQS; however, lead emissions from this facility will be negligible because gaseous fuels, which contain little if any lead, will be combusted on site. NSR requirements have not been triggered for lead. Prior to commencing operation, Shell will be required to secure 400 tons of NOx, 620 tons of VOC, and 159 tons of PM2.5 emission reduction credits (ERCs) in order to offset emission increases from those air contaminants.
This authorization is subject to State regulations including 25 Pa. Code Chapters 123—Standards for Contaminants; 127—Construction, Modification, Reactivation, and Operation of Sources; 129—Standards for Sources; 135—Reporting of Sources; 139—Sampling and Testing; and 145—Interstate Pollution Transport Reduction. Specific source standards include 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.56 and 129.57 for storage tanks containing VOCs, 25 Pa. Code § 129.65 for ethylene production plants, and 25 Pa. Code § 129.71 for LDAR requirements for ethylene and polyethylene manufacturing fugitive sources. State standards for contaminants and sources are superseded in most cases by more stringent BACT and LAER requirements. This authorization is also subject to Federal New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) including 40 CFR Part 60 Subparts Kb, VV, VVa, DDD, NNN, RRR, IIII, and KKKK; National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) including 40 CFR Part 61 Subparts J, V, and FF; and NESHAP including 40 CFR Part 63 Subparts SS, UU, XX, YY, FFFF, YYYY, and ZZZZ. Other applicable Federal regulations include 40 CFR Parts 52—Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans (specifically § 52.21—Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality), 64—Compliance Assurance Monitoring; 68—Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions; 72, 73, and 75—Permits Regulation, Sulfur Dioxide Allowance System, and Continuous Emission Monitoring; Part 96—NOx Budget Trading Program and CAIR NOx and SO2 Trading Programs for State Implementation Plans, and Part 98—Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting.
Plan approval conditions will include source specific and facility-wide emission limitations, operational restrictions, compliance testing and monitoring requirements, work practice standards, and associated recordkeeping and reporting requirements. The Department has determined that the proposed facility satisfies BACT, LAER, and the Department's Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements. Once compliance with the Plan Approval is demonstrated, the applicant will be required to submit a Title V Operating Permit (TVOP) application in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Subchapters F and G.
